Lara Dutta gears up to bankroll her second production venture

Lara Dutta, the winner of the Miss Universe 2000 pegaent and popular Bollywood actress, is a multi-talented personality. After starring in some notable films, Dutta branched out to film production in 2011 and made her debut as a producer with a comic-caper Chalo Dilli (2011). Apart from bankrolling the project, she also played an important character in it alongside talented actor Vinay Pathak.

Unfortunately, Chalo Dilli failed to create any spark at the box-office and turned out to be a money-losing affair for the actress turned producer. Now, nine years after the debacle of Chalo Dilli, the news is coming in that Lara Dutta is set to don the producer’s hat once again. This time around, she is looking forward to teaming up with a UK-based production house for an international collaboration.


Confirming the same, the actress tells a leading publication, “I am in the process of producing a film with a UK based production house.” She goes on to add that though she began work at a brisk pace, the project has come to a standstill due to the Coronavirus outbreak.

Talking about the concept of her upcoming untitled movie, Lara says, “It is a story based in India. It is not a fiction film and is based on facts. It is on the lines of Lion (2016) or Million Dollar Arm (2014).” When asked if her fans will see her acting in the movie, she says, “I will have no time left to act in this one.”

The actress reveals that she is already occupied with two upcoming web projects. “I have signed up for two web shows. I have never acted in web series before. I think the writing for web shows is brilliant. The women characters are far more superior,” Dutta says in conclusion.

In a pink lace set with a mini veil and thigh-highs, Rihanna posed next to a towering wedding cake… then kicked it over. That playful chaos and the whole vibe left fans guessing: is this just marketing, or is she hinting at her own walk down the aisle with longtime partner A$AP Rocky?

'Doctor Who' boss Russell T Davies shuts down ‘woke’ backlash over diverse casting

The creative force behind Doctor Who, Russell T Davies, has spoken out about criticism aimed at the show for being “too woke.” His message? He’s not interested in appeasing online outrage. The BBC sci-fi series recently made headlines for introducing its first-ever non-white lead duo. Ncuti Gatwa returns as the Doctor, joined by newcomer Varada Sethu as companion Belinda Chandra.

But some viewers took to the internet to complain that the show had become overly focused on diversity. Davies, speaking on BBC Radio 2’s Doctor Who: 20 Secrets from 20 Years, brushed aside the complaints. He said what some call “woke” or “diverse,” he simply sees as making space for everyone. “It’s not some agenda,” he said. “It’s just how life looks now.”

Amazon cancels Citadel with Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Varun Dhawan as Priyanka Chopra series takes the lead

Amazon has officially called time on Citadel: Honey Bunny and Citadel: Diana, the Indian and Italian spin-offs of its ambitious spy universe. The decision means fans won’t get a second season of either show, despite initial plans to expand the franchise across continents. Instead, their storylines will now be folded into the second season of the original Citadel, led by Priyanka Chopra and Richard Madden, which is now set to release in 2026.

Citadel, launched in 2023 with big-budget backing and star power, was created by the Russo Brothers as Amazon’s answer to global spy franchises like James Bond. While the show faced its share of behind-the-scenes drama, it managed to kickstart a broader universe. India’s version, Honey Bunny, featured Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Varun Dhawan, while Diana in Italy was fronted by Matilda De Angelis. Both dropped in 2024 to mixed reviews but decent viewership.
